My daughter started to read this book in the library and hasn’t been able to find it since. She read it earlier this year (2021).

The female character is the lead character. There are other teens where she is who are all learning to be warriors.

Characters are called Five, Seven and Twelve. One of the leaders is called Silver.

One character is bullying one of the others and the lead character stands up for the bullied individual. I think as a result of this she does something to the bully and is taken to Silver, one of the leaders.

The characters have to make a pledge and the back cover of the book is the promise they have to make.

My daughter thought the book front was red and black.

Maybe Fireborn by Aisling Fowler?

Summary: "Ember is full of monsters. Twelve gave up her name and identity to train in the art of hunting them--so she says. The truth is much more deadly: she trains to take revenge on those who took her family from her"

A review: "Joining Twelve is the stone guardian of the lodge. A resolute and surly dog who often despairs are being lumbered with children who hinder his progress, he's also the voice of reason and calm. There's also Five and Six, Twelve's fellow huntlings and her rivals."

Ah David, pretty sure this is it. Thank you so much! I just looked up the book and the prologue is the pledge my daughter remembers as ‘the promise’ being on the back cover. The characters are all there, so I’m confident you have found it! This is very much appreciated, thank you!
